Matthew Scott, Ignite Innovations' founder states:

"Our vision is to move beyond the drip-feed of charitable donations and engage the power of the private sector to unlock social and economic value in the developing world. Charity alone is not enough; we believe lighting the entrepreneurial flame of market forces is the best way of IGNITING the fire of social change."

Matthew makes the point of conflicting objectives between "for profits" and "for social good" at http://skoll.socialedge.org/?224@175.JpVHaPibcw1.20@bf180d3@.3c3edc51/53 (also http://tinyurl.com/4zg7t):

"I remain to be convinced (please try!) an organization can be truly ‘double bottom line’ - can you maximize both a social and financial bottom line in cases when there are trade-offs to be made….?"
